About Julie Shore
Julie Shore is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Staffordshire, United Kingdom, with four years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She works with issues such as stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, anger, career concerns, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, alongside additional focus areas including attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, domestic violence, addiction, and bereavement.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods so that therapy is tailored to each person rather than following a single formula. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based and Systemic approaches, Client-Centered and Psychodynamic perspectives, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Jungian and Existential ideas, Mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused techniques, and Trauma-Focused work to shape conversations and treatment plans around individual needs.
Julie trained through a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and has completed targeted courses in anger management, assertiveness, health and wellbeing, and suicide and self-harm awareness and prevention. She is continuing professional development through a Diploma in Criminology and studies in eating disorders awareness, mental health first aid, and psychopharmacology. She is a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds the NCPS credential, reflecting her commitment to recognised professional standards.
Her therapeutic style is described as empathic, warm, non-judgmental, and supportive, with an emphasis on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Julie's decision to become a counsellor was shaped by her own lived experience of depression, benzodiazepine and alcohol addiction, and financial hardship; that personal journey informs her commitment to helping others find resilience and renewed hope. After beginning her counselling studies in late 2017 she volunteered with a local mental health charity, later worked at a well-regarded local cancer hospice supporting people through loss and bereavement, and provided part-time charity services until establishing a private practice at the start of 2023. She continues to support clients across a broad range of concerns and invites people who are curious or unsure about therapy to get in touch to learn more.
